Chapter 162: Shoot! Female Marines from the East China Sea!
“Bang!!!”
"boom!!!"
When Jiguo Yuanyi, Yixiao and the others emerged from the Isshin Dojo, the street was already packed with people. Not far away, a crowd of people gathered, seemingly watching the excitement. From time to time, muffled noises could be heard from the crowd.
When Cyrus and Yixiao heard the noise, they both looked over. Cyrus even stopped an older woman who had just emerged from the crowd and asked curiously:
"Hello, what happened over there?"
"Is there a fight going on?"
Cyrus heard the noises, which sounded like fighting, but seeing how crowded the crowd was, it didn't seem like a major battle. Normally, if it was a major battle, everyone would have already scattered. In this situation, it was probably just a small skirmish at best.
"Yeah, there's a marine arresting someone."
"It's quite a commotion."
The aunt said something unusual with a calm expression. When Cyrus heard this, his expression changed and he immediately returned to Yunyi's side. Just as he was about to start reporting, he heard Yunyi say:
"Don't worry about it. It's just a friendly exchange between father and son. They know their limits and won't cause any big trouble here."
"Come on, I'll buy you a drink, and when it's almost time, we'll go back to the boat."
Yuanyi didn't even look in that direction, and said nonchalantly. Although Cyrus and Yixiao were puzzled, seeing that Yuanyi said so, they didn't want to find out the truth.
They both still have considerable trust in Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
Shimotsuki Village is not big, and there is only one tavern in the entire village. Although the tavern is a bit shabby, the wines sold there are quite complete. And judging from the way Cyrus drinks, the taste of this wine should be quite good.
Yixiao didn't have the habit of drinking, so he just ordered a cup of tea. After taking a few sips, his attention was attracted by the gambling table in the corner of the tavern.
This is how the world is. Gambling and alcohol are inseparable.
Yunyi did not try to stop Yixiao. Although Yixiao is now a navy and is clearly not allowed to gamble, Yunyi is not a stubborn person. For someone like Yixiao who has a sense of propriety, this kind of thing is irrelevant.
"Is it a dice?!"
"Hahaha, I'll join in too!"
Yixiao walked to the gambling table, took out Bailey from his pocket, fumbled to the corner of the table, and was about to sit down when he heard someone stop him:
"Hey, hey, hey, Marine!"
"How can you gamble?! Don't you know that gambling is not allowed in the navy?"
"Go, go, or I'll tell your superiors!"
"Which unit are you from?"
The person who spoke was a young girl of about twenty years old. She was wearing a plaid shirt and had pink hair that made her stand out in the crowd.
At this time, the girl was sitting on a stool next to the gambling table, with her legs crossed and a cigarette hanging from her mouth. She was mumbling something to Yixiao, looking like a second-generation rich kid.
"Hey, hey, hey, Belle-mère, how can you turn away guests?"
"And he's a Marine!"
"Hey, hey, hey, do you want to play too? Let's play together, haha, let's play together!"
Just when Yixiao was about to turn around and leave in embarrassment, a fat man with small eyes beside the gambling table quickly grabbed Yixiao's arm, looked up at Yixiao, and was a little surprised when he found out that Yixiao was blind. But then he quickly concealed this emotion, stood up with a smile, and pulled Yixiao to his seat.
"Hehe, thank you."
He sat down on the seat with a smile, rubbed the table with one hand, and then placed the Bailey in his hand on the table.
One hundred thousand.
"Hahahaha~ He's a big customer." The fat man who pulled Yixiao to sit down glanced at Bailey beside Yixiao with his small eyes, and the smile on his face suddenly became unusually bright.
Then he winked at the middle-aged man who was the banker and said to him with a smile, "Mr. Navy, we are playing dice at this table."
"It's very simple, bet on big or small, your left hand is small, and your right hand is big!"
“You can press as much as you want.”
Before the fat man could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of someone slamming the table.
"Bang!"
Bellmère, who was sitting opposite, saw Yixiao being pulled to his seat, with a gloomy look between his brows. When he saw the fat man instigating Yixiao to place a bet, he immediately became annoyed.
Slamming the table, Bellmère cursed at Yixiao, "A blind man is out gambling?! Can you, a Marine, live a good life with your disability allowance?!"
"Hey! Belle Mare!"
"Your words were a bit harsh!"
"Mr. Navy is free to use his money as he pleases!"
"If you don't want to play, you can get off the table!"
The fat man was interrupted and looked at Bellmère with cold eyes. His right hand was already in his arms, as if he was going to take something out.
Seeing the fat man's action, Bellemeier curled his lips and sat back in his seat. After looking up and smiling, he shouted to the middle-aged man sitting in the dealer's seat: "Start! Start!"
"Okay! Bet big or small, start betting!"
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, he smiled and took out 10,000 Baileys, threw them to his left hand, and bet on small. He didn't care about what Bellemeier had said to him before, his interest was completely focused on the gambling table.
Seeing Yixiao bet 10,000 Baileys, Bellemeier's face turned a little ugly. Then he took out another 10,000 Baileys from his hand and bet on the big one. After the two of them placed their bets, the gamblers around them began to place their bets one after another.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the gambling table became extremely heated.
Tsugikoku Yuichiro and Cyrus ignored the laughter of the people gambling over there. Yuichiro was chatting with the bartender, while Cyrus was listening quietly and tasting the wine.
"Bang!!!"
However, at this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the other side of the gambling table.
This sudden sound silenced the lively atmosphere in the tavern.
"Bang!"
After the gunshot, a chubby figure slowly fell to the ground. There was a bullet hole in the center of his head, and blood mixed with white brain matter flowed out of the wound.
The people around looked carefully and found that the fat man was holding a pistol in his hand with his index finger on the trigger, but it was obvious that he did not fire the shot himself.
On one side of the gambling table, Bellmère was holding a cigarette in his mouth and a pistol in his right hand, with a faint smoke coming out of the muzzle.
The gamblers around the gambling table were all staring blankly at Bellmère's sudden move.
“Kill people!!!”
After a scream, the people in the tavern finally realized what had happened and ran out of the tavern.
The people at the gambling table ran away in an instant, leaving only Bellmère who fired the gun, Yixiao who was sitting at the gambling table, and the middle-aged man who was the banker before.
The middle-aged man stared at Bellmère with a ferocious expression, his muscles bulging. In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man, originally of average build, transformed into a muscular man over 180cm tall. His skin also rapidly darkened, and dense black hairs sprouted from his pores.
Even two long fangs appeared at the corners of the man's mouth.
"What?"
"Wild boar?!"
Cyrus watched the scene from a distance and whispered in a strange voice.
The next second, the middle-aged man who had completed his beast transformation grabbed the pistol in Bellmère's hand and bent the muzzle.
Bellmère reacted quickly, releasing his gun as the opponent attacked him, and with a backward roll, he left the gambling table and shouted, "Action!"
As soon as the words fell, eight navy officers rushed into the tavern, long swords in hand, and rushed towards the middle-aged man, shouting as they charged:
"Capo the Sheep-Trapper, surrender!"
"You're surrounded!"
Cyrus, who was standing in front of the bar, looked at this sudden scene with a look of surprise on his face.
"Is the navy taking action? That agile girl is actually a navy?!"
Tsugikoku Yoriichi also focused his attention on the "transformed" middle-aged man and chuckled:
"Devil Fruit ability?"
"If that's the case, these few Marines may not be able to handle it!"
However, just as Yunyi finished speaking, his eyes turned towards the door, his palm already pressed on the hilt of the knife, his expression became a little solemn at this moment:
"Someone incredible... is coming!"
